E 164 The Relevance of Rawls: 'Justice as Fairness' in Turbulent Times

£2.77

We live in extraordinary times, where concerns with security and financial crisis are threatening the post-war consensus on the importance of human rights and economic equality of opportunity.

The work of John Rawls, perhaps the greatest political philosopher of the twentieth century, speaks powerfully into this context. This concise study outlines his key priorities around the primacy of social justice, and shows how they have a direct bearing on the questions facing us today.
